2025 Fantasy Outlook
McGary has started 92 of 93 games at right tackle in his six-year career. He has missed four games over the last two seasons due to knee injuries. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Falcons in August of 2025.
Done for year
The Falcons placed McGary on season-ending IR on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta didn't designate McGary to return, meaning the left leg injury that caused him to be carted off the practice field Aug. 21 will force him to miss the entire 2025 season. The loss of their starting right tackle is a huge blow to the Falcons' offense, and could impact the fantasy upside of quarterback Michael Penix and running back Bijan Robinson. Elijah Wilkinson appears the most likely candidate to step into the vacant starting role, though Jack Nelson and Brandon Parker could also get opportunities.
